Learn 2 Cycle

Learn 2 Cycle with a Disability - Childrens cycling lessons

Course Overview: Learn 2 Cycle with a Disability is a 6-week programme, targeted at children and teenagers with additional needs. It aims to teach children to cycle a two-wheel bike independently. Generally, if a child has the balance to walk unassisted, they can have the balance to cycle. Lessons are held indoors, in a sports hall which provides a safe space for participants to learn cycling skills.

Parent Involvement: The programme is delivered by a qualified Cycling Ireland instructor from the Cycle Safety School and requires active parental involvement during the sessions. This programme proves invaluable for those taking part providing a great source of exercise and benefits in mobility and independent movement through a lifespan.

Bikes: The trainer will have bikes available, or you can bring your own bike. They do not provide adapted or any specialised bikes.

2025 Courses: Please see our calendar of lessons for 2025.

*Booking forms will open approx. 4 weeks before a course start date.
